[libsmi] current vs. mandatory as status values

Hi!

I am rather new to this whole smi and mib stuff, so this question might be stupid: When converting RFC1213-MIB to xml with smidump (libsmi 0.4.1), the status attribute values in the resulting xml file are always equal to "current", though they should equal "mandatory" since RFC-1213 refers to SMIv1 (RFC1155) and not to SMIv2 (RFC2578). And why is status an attribute while access is a child node?

Have I gotten something completely wrong?
